FLYER wins Eurobike Award for the lightweight “Upstreet SL” city e-bike and presents further innovations in Frankfurt
FLYER wins the Eurobike Award 2023 with its urban lightweight Upstreet SL. In addition to the award-winning, flexible e-bike for everyday use, the Swiss e-bike pioneer is presenting two further innovations in Frankfurt: The crossover Goroc TR:X e-bike comes with the world’s first Pinion e-drive, a drive system that combines a powerful motor and a 12-speed electronic gearbox in a single unit. With the Uproc EVO:X, FLYER is presenting an e-enduro for ambitious e-bikers. The new flagship in the “Mountain” segment of the Swiss company is characterized by a frameset optimized for extreme offroad use with massive travel and an extra-rigid frame.
Eurobike Award for stylish lightweight FLYER Upstreet SL
At 18 kilograms, the Upstreet SL is absolutely lightweight and therefore exactly the kind of flexible e-bike you need for your everyday life. The new smart Bosch Performance Line SX drive system with a 400-watt-hour battery is weight-optimized and offers more than enough power and range in the city. The particularly quiet motor provides assistance with up to 55 Nm torque. For longer journeys, the optional additional battery in drinking bottle format delivers an additional 250 Wh. The modern, urban FLYER is fully equipped with a light, rack and fenders. The Bosch smart system installed on the Upstreet SL combines high-quality e-bike components with smart functions.
The design, lightness and flexibility of the Upstreet SL impressed the Eurobike Award jury – the lightest FLYER e-bike to date received the Eurobike Award 2023 in the e-bike category.
A completely new riding experience with the innovative Goroc TR:X crossover e-bike
Innovative technology is packaged in high quality with the new Goroc TR:X. The well-known Pinion gearbox, which is very popular with frequent riders, is now combined with a powerful electric motor and state-of-the-art control system. Motor and gearbox fit in a single, compact housing. Developers at FLYER are thrilled by this innovation and world first. Philipp Suter, Head of Product Management, praises the concept: “Pinion E-Drive allows us to turn an e-bike into a real electric vehicle with automotive technology for the first time and offer our customers an unprecedented riding experience.” The integration enables incredibly precise, fast and reliable gear shifting in any weather, on any terrain and even under load. Protected from the effects of the weather and featuring a high-quality belt drive, this new generation of e-bike drive is virtually maintenance-free. The main frame is made of high-quality carbon. The full-suspension frameset with 130 mm travel offers a great deal of comfort, while the extra-rigid frame offers a particularly direct riding experience. Whether on a multi-day voyage of discovery or in the middle of city traffic – the Goroc TR:X knows no bounds.
Enduro (R)evolution with Uproc EVO:X
for rough terrain
The Uproc EVO:X is an e-enduro for ambitious e-bikers. The new flagship in the “Mountain” segment of the Swiss e-bike pioneer is characterized by a frameset optimized for extreme offroad use with massive travel and an extra-rigid frame. “The new Uproc EVO:X is an e-enduro of the finest quality. We have designed geometry, kinematics, frame design and equipment for use in rough terrain. The result is an uncompromising bike with a low center of gravity for best handling, enormous speed and an incredible amount of fun,” says Silas Furrer, Product Manager at the Swiss e-bike pioneer. Particular emphasis was placed on riding dynamics and riding enjoyment during development. A low center of gravity and progressive damper characteristics were important points in the specifications. Together with the generous 170 mm travel at the front and 165 mm travel at the back, the Uproc EVO:X offers a high level of safety – even in extreme situations. The frame is made of high-strength carbon fibers that have been laminated to form an attractive, clean and extra-rigid frame.
